THE BOLLORÉ GROUP: EXPERT IN ELECTRICITY STORAGE

You can be 190 years old and always be at the

cutting edge of technology. Working from a

foundation of two centuries of industrial

expertise, the company continues to develop

revolutionary technologies on a daily basis.

Thanks to a strategy constantly based on

innovation since its inception, the little paper-

making company, founded by the Bolloré family

in France in 1822, is now one of the 500 biggest

companies worldwide. It employs almost 38,000

people in 110 countries. The Group, which is still

controlled and owned by the Bolloré family, has

never stopped diversifying into other industries

and services. Building on its extensive expertise

in producing ultra-thin paper, the company

diversifi ed these application in the conception

and production of ultra-thin plastic fi lms and

dielectric fi lms which are the main components

of capacitors. The Bolloré Group is the world

leader in this fi eld. In recent years, the Group

has specialized in the fi eld of electricity storage,

developing LMP batteries based on a unique

technology and supercapacitors.



PRODUCING HIGH-PERFORMANCE BATTERIES

Successful R&D programmes led the group to

found twenty years ago, Batscap, a wholly owned

subsidiary entirely devoted to the development

and production of electricity storage

components. LMP (Lithium Metal Polymer)

technology is now at the heart of the Bluecar

and Bluebus electric vehicle development

programmes, as well as of the stationary

batteries for private individuals and institutions

ones. The group is increasing its LMP batteries

production capacities in its two factories located

in Brittany (Pen-Carn-Ergué Gabéric) and in

Canada (Montréal) with the objective to attain a

production of 40,000 batteries a year, by 2013.

CLEAN, RELIABLE, SAFE AND

HIGH-PERFORMANCE

Designed to power electric buses or cars, such

as the Bluecar, mass-produced for the Autolib’

car sharing service, the LMP battery has proven

its effectiveness on a daily basis.

THE ENERGY OF THE FUTURE

Oil depletion, constant fuel costs rise and

increased pollution of the atmosphere justify the

development of alternative energy sources. After

twenty years of research, Bolloré Group has

designed a unique technology: the LMP (Lithium

Metal Polymer) battery. The LMP battery charges

in eight hours, from a 220 V, 16A power supply.

Its lifespan is around 200,000 km, or… fi ve times

around the world.

Thanks to its “all solid” design, it is safer than

any other new generation battery. In particular,

the battery is unaffected by external weather

conditions, thus ensuring real safety when used.

Solely made from non-polluting materials, the

battery presents no danger to the environment.

At the end of its lifespan, all its components are

recycled or valued.

PROVEN RESULTS ON THE GROUND

LMP batteries have powered the Autolib’ service

cars since December 2011. After one year of

service, the electric battery has kept its

promises. Regardless weather conditions,

number of users, urban or open road conditions,

nothing has affected its performances.

Through intensive usage, LMP batteries have

demonstrated their reliability, their performance

and their durability. Between them, the cars in

service have already covered 5,000,000 km since

December 5, 2011.

handle. With the battery specially placed under

the passenger seats, thus providing a low centre

of gravity and perfect weight distribution, the

vehicle enjoys exceptional handling. Thanks to

the small electric motor and ideal location of

batteries, centred between the two axles, the

Bluecar presents a spacious interior.

SAFETY

Safety is intrinsic to all elements of the Bluecar.

The LMP battery provides maximum safety.

Furthermore, the car is fi tted with all equipment

designed for the protection and comfort of all

passengers: driver airbag, electric power steering,

and even a soft buzzer to give pedestrians a

gentle warning when the Bluecar is approaching.

An Isofi x fi xing system is installed on the

vehicle’s back seat to fi t a booster seat for

children.

COMMUNICATION

Bluecar is also a little marvel of technology

- with its embedded computer and GPS, users

may access all the information they need. The

top screen provides all the main information on

the state of the car: speed, autonomy, battery

levels. The central touch-screen is the core of

control system; it features all functions related

to comfort and drivability: temperature controls,

THE BOLLORÉ GROUP: EVER GREATER INNOVATIONSFOR THE GOOD OF THE ENVIRONMENT

THE BLUEBUS : LMP TECHNOLOGY FOR THE BENEFIT OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES

The Bolloré Group has entered into a

partnership with the Gruau Group. Together,

they have developed the electric Bluebus, in

production since 2011. With a 22 passenger

capacity, Bluebus is a 100% electric vehicle,

designed for urban transport. It has a range

of 120 km, thanks to the LMP batteries

mounted on its roof. Highly environmentally

friendly, its aluminium-steel-composite

bodywork and its batteries are 98%

recyclable. For these reasons, Bluebus was

selected to transport visitors in the

Mont-Saint-Michel Bay in Normandy.

The Unesco World Heritage site is the

region which attracts the most tourists in

France, after the Île-de-France.

With these assets, Bluebus is the ideal form

of public transport for all towns which

favour social and environmental concerns

in their public transport policies.


THE STATIONARY LMP BATTERIES: USEFUL APPLICATIONS FOR ALL

Initially developed for electric vehicles, LMP batteries

also have many stationary applications. Some of these

applications are relevant to individuals, such as storing

electricity from the grid, solar panels, or wind turbines.

LMP batteries are also suitable for professional

applications, whenever there is a need to ensure energy

continuity for computer networks, hospital sites,

telecoms relays, etc.
